AB OBJECTIVE: To provide basic information on pre- and extramarital sex in
the general population and other factors related to HIV transmission.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional household survey in 18 countries of the
developing world, mainly in Africa and Asia. RESPONDENTS: Representative
samples of 1300-6995 individuals aged 15-49 years, interviewed in
1989-1993. METHODS: Face-to-face interviewing. RESULTS: We observed a
huge variability between study sites, with the proportion of men
reporting sexual contact outside regular partnerships in the last year
ranging from 4 to 47%. Contacts with sex workers range from 1 to 25%.
Women were much less likely to report non-marital sex than men.
CONCLUSIONS: This first cross-cultural attempt to examine aspects of
sexual lifestyles suggests that broad generalizations about
multiple-partner sexual networking in particular regions are misleading.
Gender, marital status, age and a few other demographic correlates were
disclosed as powerful determinants of sexual behaviour, although the
strength of associations varied greatly between specific locations.
Condom use was very low in most study sites.
